Has anyone else read Theres a god on the Mic by Kool Mo Dee. What did y'all think? For anyone who hasn't read it he rated the top 50 MCs in his opinion (as of 2002) using a system of 17 categories such as Flow, Battle Skills, Impact (social and industry), Poetic Value, Originality and other so called necessary qualities of an MC. His top 5 were 1. Melle Mel 2. Rakim 3. KRS-One 4. Big Daddy Kane 5. Himself (Kool Mo Dee)
anyways if you haven't read it I suggest reading it for kicks if nothing else.

beautiful crazy, thats interesting shlt, you could kinda tell that KMD did his best to sound intelligent and on top of shlt but wasn't quite there... either way it was nice to get some perspective I thought, and interesting none the less

i didnt read the book but i saw the chart.
the rubric thing is a good idea, just cuz it helps you put something together that you wouldnt be able to do just by thinking of the mc's. its like an unbiased way to do it.

I quote one of the guys who supplied Kool Moe with his pictures for the book by saying
"aka Kool Moe Dee, fat, broke and 55 who tried to not pay me for supplying all of the photos for his book “There’s A God On The Mic” and who had the vanity to list himself as the 5th greatest of all time above Tupac, Big, Wu Tang and a host of others. Moe Dee gets the Bozack)."
enuff said....
